pBAT update after two cycles.
I started BAT using testosterone propianate which requires injections every other day during high T cycle. The beauty of that is fast clearing and slamming the jail cell shut on the beast with darolutamide. My recent PSA came in as 0,05 which is almost at end on my 2nd darolutamide cycle. My Numbers

ADT for a year?
Had intermediate grade PC no spread, had SBRT. Three months out my Psa is .03. Am on Lupron for the fourth month out of a projected 12 month stint. Do docs ever say, six or nine months is enough? Testosterone at 6 right now.

After BCR and PSA Return: An Update on My Treatment Path
Hi Everyone, I realize it's been quite a while since I last shared an update on my journey. I thought it was high time to share how things have been going for me, especially considering the somewhat controversial path I decided to take in early 2022 following Biochemical Recurrence (BCR) and the early

My 5 Year Blood Test Results
Wassersug PhD, I started applying
estradiol
gel (tE2) to lower my
testosterone
levels in an effort to suppress the proliferation of my PCa recurrence. It has been a miracle hormone for me with ONLY tiny boobs as a side effect, and I haven't seen a doctor in about 6 years.

Switching to Lupron?
I've been on Firmagon for two years. PSA undetectable (<.064), all scans negative. Will switching to a six month Lupron shot cause testosterone flare?

SHBG test through Medichecks?
I'm set with an appointment with a menopause clinic in a couple of weeks for an HRT consult and noticed that their charges for some of the tests were quite a bit higher than Medichecks, and they are running a 20% off sale that ends tonight. I've had my thyroid tests done with them already, so I believe

Hi everyone, I'm a long time ThyroidUK participant. Right now the thyroid replacement is good, vitamins, minerals, are all great. I'm very particular to ensure this. I use HRT (Triestrogen/progesterone) topical cream and have used since age 45 and I'm now 65. Here's the problem: in March

PSA doubled 3 months after chemo - normal or a concern?
I don’t see Dr Dorff until next week, but had labs drawn today. I’m prepping any questions I might have for the appointment. My PSA has more than doubled in 3 months from 0.014 to 0.039. Testosterone at time of both tests was <7. At these low levels, is that doubling in 3 months a concern? I’m

ADT or not?
Hi, i have Stage 4 PCA, Gleason 5+4 so I am on Degaralix and Enzalutamide. I tend to refer to this treatment as ADT as shorthand because to my mind they both reduce testosterone. I wonder if I’m misusing ADT or does it matter?

T flare with Lupron jab
Does every Lupron injection leads to a temporary testosterone flare or just the first one?I'm on 3 monthly Lupron jab. I got my first erection in weeks (with Viagra) after my 2nd jab and was wondering if that was because of the Lupron jab a few days earlier.

Ten Months After All Treatments Ended
My Oncologist stopped my Eligard injections in October of 2022. My August 2023 bloodwork shows that my testosterone has risen from 2.0 to 10.0 in that time. My PSA was <0.1 ten months ago and is now 0.1 (Canadian units). I know that this cancer is a long game, but given my diagnosis in 2020, I am happy

Run out of DHEA 4 days before retrieval, buy more?
Hi all, I am going to run out of DHEA 3-4 days before my egg retrieval and the amount I have (8 pills or so) means I need to go down to 50mg a day not 75mg to make it last as many days as possible. I know this is my own fault for being disorganised and not checking the bottle, pfft. I have asked

Started MRI Guided SBRT at MSK
After 2.5 years on active surveillance with Dr. Ehdaie at Memorial Sloan Kettering, my cancer progressed to GL 4+3 (Unfavorable Intermediate Risk) and I needed definitive treatment. I opted for MRI guided SBRT with Dr. Sean McBride after getting a second opinion from Dr. Kishan at UCLA. I started

Need help in understanding PSA level recurrence after treatment.
In May 2023 I completed what the doctor hope would be a curative treatment of 38 sessions of radiotherapy accompanied by 2.25 years on Lupron + Zytiga. During that treatment, my PSA fell to < 0.01 and remained there until the end of the treatment. I had a blood test taken last Friday and it shows that
